A top French court has overturned a controversial ban on Muslim-friendly burqini bathing suits.

The Council of State ruled Friday that a ban imposed in the town of Villeneuve-Loubet "seriously and clearly illegally breached fundamental freedoms to come and go, freedom of beliefs and individual freedom."

But the decision is expected to set a legal precedent for about 30 other French cities and towns that have similar bans on the full-body swimsuit.
